"Fucking FIGHT it..."by ~bechahns

Digital Art / Drawings / People

©2009-2013 ~bechahns

SHHIIIIIITTTEEEE.

I did it again. I stayed up til past 3:00am with an early start later. ;_;
But I couldn't help it, as I was looking through old, unfinished pictures on my hard drive and came across this piece. I had given up on it ages ago because I didn't like it or think I could pull it off, but I feel I've learned a lot about digital colouring in the last few months. So, I decided to have another crack at it.

Whaddaya know...

This is my character Alistair. He is aged about 16 here.
He suffers from quite severe Astra-/Keraunophobia and he absolutely hates it.
He wants to be as brave and strong as his older brother.
...No further explanation necessary, really.
I apologise for awkward proportions/perspective. It was a difficult angle to draw!

Media: 0.5 HB Mech pencil on regular sketchpad paper for sketch, Photoshop 7 and wacom intuos3 for colouring.
Time: Dunno... 3+ hours? (with a several month break in the middle, but we shan't count that... :])

I listened to "Flume" by Bon Iver throughout the most recent part of colouring process. My god it's gorgeous. So, so gorgeous.

Anyway, Alistair and Art (C) *DiamondIvy

Wow this is amazing. I love how you captured the wet. How can you paint water. ARG.

And the perspective is really good and you managed to balance the detail of the grass just right.

IN AWE.

I'm definitely doing a lot more constructive work. I still don't know where I'm going with my art. This is the first time I've not known what to do form my final piece before starting the project.

Ohhh man I just love this! The darkness and the rain and the ANGUISH and aaaaah you got it just right. Also, you managed to pull off a really awkward angle BRILLIANTLY. Respect, yo.

&& I WANT YOU TO WRITE YOUR STORIES OUT. All of them. In a big file for me to read. I see pictures like this and they're so awesome and deep, and you just KNOW you'd love it more if you fully understood. =3

The ANNGGSST. Thanks a lot my dear, I'm glad you like it!

I do write them out, little chunks in individual files. I'm building up a gradual collection of them, over time. I just write them all from different POVs and in different styles each time, so I can't settle on one to make a proper, fluid story....
I can email you some if you like? Thing is, I'd like some feedback if that's ok! Like, critique on writing style/actual plot/little details/general spelling and punctuation (I think I use too many commas, so I need a second opinion!) Would you be prepared to help with that??

ALSO! Thanks for the faaaave. <3

This made me stop being annoyed with Keraunophobia altogether. Now I have all this sympathy for it. SUCH a DRASTIC CHANGE of feeling because of this picture.

Oh Alistair, you're brave to me ;_;

Oh, also, you looked up the song??
Did you like??

It's going on my drawing playlist.

It reminded me of if Arcade Fire and Iron and Wine had a lovechild. I did like.

Oh god I have a playlist for every little thing. Half my characters, whole books, feelings, hobby occasions, and friend's characters have playlists. Not to mention my 758430258 playlists of "What I want to listen to right now." "What I really want to listen to." "This is for RIGHT now." "This is everything I love to listen to." "This is the best of what I want to listen to." "RIGHT NOW." "Nooo... NOW!" etc.
